Answer:
The correct answer is France.
Explanation:
With the excuse of sending reinforcement troops to the French Army occupying Portugal, Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1840) invaded Spain in <em>February 1808</em>. Only four months after the initial invasion, France forces had already taken Pamplona, Barcelona, and Madrid causing King Charles IV of Spain to give up his throne. Napoleon took advantage and his brother, Joseph, was proclaimed king of Spain. Until 1813, thanks to the intervention of British expeditionary <em>Arthur Wellesley</em> (later named Duke of Wellington) and small irregular Spanish bands called the <em>guerrillas</em>, the Iberian Peninsula was liberated.
As a result of the french invasion in the Iberian Peninsula, french philosophical movements such as en Enlightenment was spread over Spain, and later on, over its colonies.

After World War II, the US was worried about the Soviet Union and the system of communism spreading all over Europe. If communism spread, it would increase the Soviet Union's power, making them the world's largest superpower.
The US did not want this to happen, as they feared that if one country fell to communism, nearby countries would fall as well. This is known as the domino theory. To prevent this from happening, the US ends up giving $400 million to Greece and Turkey in order to stabilize their economy.
